    Houdini Hen

    We always seem to have one Houdini Hen too. I've shoveled dirt around anywhere I think she's getting out but still haven't figured it out. 14 chickens in this coop/run and only one gets out . . multiple times each day.

    Hole in the Shell

    We have ten hens in a coop and a large fenced run. They have plenty of room, plenty of food/water and crushed oyster shell. They were all purchased as baby chicks (Red Sex Links) this spring and have all been laying for probably three months. I believe that it's just one hen but almost every...

    They're Bantams

    That's all I know. The black one is a lace something, no feathers on the legs, tail is shaped in a "V". Came from the Tractor Supply "assorted Bantam bucket. The gray/white one I think is a rooster but don't have a clue as to the breed. No feathers on the legs either. Thanks for your help.

    This doesn't look right

    This is my 7 month old Easter Egger. She doesn't seem sick, her poop looks fine, she's eating ok but I don't think this is right. Both sides look this way. I don't believe the other chickens have been pecking her because it's the same on both sides and none of my other 9 hens are showing...

    Grass or Sand

    We currently have 10 hens. We have a coop and lock them securely in there at night. In the day, they can go back and forth into the coop but we have a 5' x 15' run for them. My husband built it using pvc pipe and chicken wire. Here it is: It's round and we can't stand up in it. We move...

    Funny Egg

    I have 6 Red Stars and 4 EEs. What do you think about this egg? There's more about it on my blog if you care to read more but do you think this is a one time striped/speckled egg? I love it and would be happy if I got a bunch of these.

    At what age will a Sex-link start laying ?

    I have 6 red sex links. One started laying at 18 weeks. They're now 19 weeks and I have four that are laying.

    egg size of first egg

    The first eggs from my Red Stars have been around 1.4 oz. Within a week of getting my fist eggs, I got one that weighs 2.6 oz but for the most part, the hens laying for a week to 10 days are giving me 1.6 oz. eggs.
